"Are you okay? I am ringing the bell for the past ten minutes but you are not opening the door." Deepak asked and I frowned opening my eyes.

"Why are you calling now?" I asked raising my voice as it is time for us to open the restaurant and I am

*Prathap Pov*"Are you okay?" I asked Shrishti as she continued to stare at the door.She slowly turned around asking, "Why did you ask her to wait at your place?

I asked and she scratche

*Anitha Pov*"I will be back." He said placing his hand on my cheek and I nodded smiling.However, when he started walking away from me, I felt worried thinking I will be alone with his mother right now.Am I going to have another battle of words with her or should I just ignore no matter what she comments?No matter what I still don't want to fight with her and it doesn't change the fact that she is his mother.

I said turning away from the other patients."But you should have told me that you will be going early today..." I cut her off calling her name before taking a deepbreath."Didn't you say that you will make me your model for your clothes? For that, you should learn everything properly and not miss those classes again. I will be fine." I assured her before cutting the call and turned back to sit properly on the chair.
